John coltrane –

Impressions (verve acoustic sounds series)

Recorded between 1961-1963 and released on Impulse! Records in July 1963, Impressions documents John Coltrane's classic quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones. Two selections, "India" and "Impressions," originate from the group's November 1961 engagement at the Village Vanguard, where the quartet was joined by Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute and second bassist Reggie Workman. These are paired with the studio recordings "Up 'Gainst the Wall" in 1962, and "After the Rain" in 1963, the latter featuring Roy Haynes on drums. Issued during the same period as albums including Coltrane and Live at Birdland, Impressions forms part of Coltrane's early-1960s Impulse! Discography, demonstrating the quartet's unique power in both expanded live performance and studio contexts. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
